Duffield Removals is a family-run Chester removal company for house removals in Chester: our vans and our Chester storage are based in the city, and we move homes and offices in every part of Chester and the villages around it, from the terraces of Handbridge and Hoole to the new estates off Wrexham Road. Every move gets a written quote, our own crew and goods in transit insurance to £120,000. We are rated 4.9 on Google from 148 reviews (read 26 September 2026), and the Chester line is 01244 794 244.
House removals in Chester
A move within Chester is usually a single day. We quote from the size of the property, the two addresses and whether you want us to pack, and photos of the rooms on WhatsApp help with larger houses and tricky access. Beds are rebuilt when that is in the quote, and boxes go to the rooms they are labelled for.
The parts of Chester we work in most: Hoole and Newton, Upton and the Countess of Chester side, Handbridge and Curzon Park across the river, Blacon, Lache and Saltney, Boughton and Vicars Cross, Christleton, Waverton and Tattenhall to the south east, and the city centre itself, including flats on the Rows and above the shops in Watergate and Bridge Street.
What is different about moving in Chester
- Terraced streets in Hoole, Handbridge and Garden Lane have no front gardens and residents' parking, so the van may need a suspended bay outside the door; we tell you at the quote if your street needs one, and our guide to parking and access for removals in Chester explains how it is arranged
- The city walls and the Rows: flats inside the walls often mean a long carry and a smaller van shuttling to a larger one parked where it can wait; the pedestrian zone has delivery hours we plan around
- New-build estates (Kings Moat, Wrexham Road, Saighton Camp, Chester Meadows) have tight turning circles, so we send the vehicle that fits, not the biggest one
- The A55 and the M53 make Chester a good base for long-distance work: Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales in under an hour, the M6 for everywhere else
What decides the price of a Chester move?
There is no fixed price list for a Chester move, because the price comes from the job: how much there is to move, the distance, the access at both ends (stairs, lifts, how close the van can park), whether we pack, and the day of the week. Under our terms a written quote is valid for 30 days; work at a weekend, on a bank holiday or outside Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm can cost more; and parking charges fall to the customer when an agreed suspension was not arranged, which is why we check your street at the quote. Postponing or cancelling is free more than 14 working days before the move. Our guide to removal costs in Chester goes through each of these.
Office and commercial moves in Chester
We move city-centre offices, business-park floors and industrial units, usually in the evening or at the weekend so the business opens as normal. The office removals in Chester page sets out how each kind of office move is planned.
Storage in Chester
Our Chester storage is a converted barn inside our workshop, used for furniture and boxes between completion dates, during renovations and after a clearance. We collect, wrap and deliver back, so you never hire a van or carry a box. The removals storage in Chester page explains how it differs from a self-storage unit.
Beyond Chester
From our Chester base we cover Ellesmere Port, Neston and the Wirral, Frodsham, Helsby, Tarporley and Northwich, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint, and Wrexham. Each has its own page under areas we cover. Long-distance moves anywhere in the UK start here too.
